Where the Funds Go

Funds raised by A Taste for Life will be used to support groundbreaking research advancing lung cancer treatments and therapies at Roswell Park Cancer Institute. Currently, Roswell Park has two very promising lung cancer treatment initiatives that A Taste for Life will support:

OmniSeq Target™ uncovers genetic clues hidden within a patient’s cancer that may open up opportunities to targeted therapies, clinical trials, and other important information that can help generate a treatment plan tailored to the patient and their specific cancer. Your support will allow us to continue to cover the cost of the test for patients with late-stage lung cancer whose insurance companies do not cover it. To learn more about OmniSeq Target™, click here.

CimaVax Lung Cancer Vaccine – Roswell Park is leading the nation in bringing an innovative lung cancer vaccine, developed by Cuba’s Center for Molecular Immunology, to the United States. The vaccine, called CimaVax, has proven effective in the treatment of late-stage lung cancers and those at high risk for the disease, but further studies are needed before it can be made widely available to patients in the United States. Your support will fuel the rapid startup of the initial clinical trials at Roswell Park once the vaccine receives FDA approval and help bring it to patients in the United States as quickly as possible.
